Our 3rd day the forecast for the day was 100% rain all day. We decided to go to the 9/11 museum with the City Pass that I had bought.
What we didn't know was that you have to stand in a long line specific for city pass holders just to get your voucher for the museum. And then you have to stand in another line to get in and get through security.
After waiting in the rain for about an hour we were only halfway closer to the counter & we found out you can buy tickets from the kiosk or online & skip the line altogether. What?! We would've gladly spent an extra $20 to avoid a 2 hour line! Us and the family behind us ditched the line. We'll have to visit the museum some other trip. We couldn't bring ourselves to waiting in any more lines that day.
Drenched, we found a nearby mall and I bought some wool socks to replace our socks that had become soggy from our wait in the rain.
We did get some cool pictures of ground zero though.
Luckily, there was no line to hop on a ferry for the statue of liberty. Although I wasn't super thrilled about the rain that day, it did provide for some very cool, moody pictures.
We could've got off at Ellis Island, but we were both too cold & damp, so I just got a picture of the exterior from our ferry.
That night we went out to eat in Little Italy with Kelsi & Taylor. Yum! The gnocchi was delicious! Cannolis for dessert! 
After dinner we hit up Chinatown. Kelsi was the only one who scored a sweet deal- she wanted a souvenir sweatshirt & she found one. It was so fun to get to finish the night off with them!
